Places To Stay
Whether you are travelling from out of town, or want to treat yourself during the Sydney Contemporary week, stay in style with our Hotel Partners; Ace Hotel Sydney and Capella Sydney. Offering exceptional accommodation, these hotels have a special discount code available to Fair visitors.
Ace Hotel Sydney lives in a rejuvenated, hundred-year-old Heritage Federation Warehouse building — home to the first brick kiln in Australia. Inspired by the vibrant neighbourhood, Ace Sydney is a communal space that offers casual, considered accommodations, designed with care by Flack Studio. Drawing inspiration from architect Robin Boyd’s paradigm-shifting book, The Australian Ugliness, the paintings of Indigenous Australian artist Albert Namatjira and the building site’s legacy of pottery and ceramic creation, Flack Studio has conjured a hotel that’s a deep homage to Australia. Inside the hotel, find original pieces by celebrated Australian artists, including Nadia Hernandez, Nell, Julia Gutman, Jason Phu and more.
Nestled against the CBD in Surry Hills, Ace is easily accessible by bus and train, and just a 9-minute drive to Carriageworks.
